What kernel version and .config? Also, try the recent crypto sources. on an almost identical system (fewer scsi and no ide devices), i get worse errors: the kernel crashes during boot, after correctly detecting the installed devices... the error messages are too long to reproduce here by hand (sorry!), but from what i gather it's a 15+/- line long dump of one byte hex values, which the kernel produces for each scsi id on the controller. after that, it resumes it's work and then obviously fails to access the root fs. with a vanilla kernel everything works fine, it's the 2.4.18 one, as opposed to the 2.4.19-gentoo-r7 where the crashes occur. i'll attach the .config of the 2.4.19 one.

.config for 2.4.19-gentoo-r7
try mjc-sources... Hi, I am having VERY similar problems myself. I have a dual cpu PIII and a adaptec 29160. I have been able to isolate it to the scsi module, I modprobe the aic7xxx driver and it either hangs or goes into a kernel panic. Could it be that the patched kernel has broken the adaptec drivers? If I let it go through to the auto-probe it will crash it too. can you both test with gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r9 and let me know the status so I know what still needs fixing for the next kernel? re-open if -r9 or the pending -r10 still break it. I had scsi problems using smp from the boot cd and installing. For the boot cd do noscsi option os immediately after booting do # rmmod aic7xxx # modprobe aic7xxx_old For kernel compile on smp enabled build use "Old Adaptec aic7xxx" Seems to work for me |
